I should've been better.

I should've been better these days.
A better mom, better friend, better person, and a better self-care taker.
I should've been getting more sleep, more water, more food. And I should've been staying away from the news, at least for a bit, to save the pieces of sanity I still own.

Seeing what's happening is breaking my heart 💔 but the way I am is of little importance, and fades in comparison to how all those wonderful, brave and fierce people are fighting to protect their homes, lives and families. 🇺🇦 Seeing all those videos and images shakes me to the core, and I'm sitting here in disbelief. It's 2022, and after all we've been through as a planet recently... You'd expect we're a little past this point, right?

Or no.
That's probably just me being naive, and hoping against all hope that everyone has a beating heart and at least some pieces of humanity left in them.

Up until a few days ago, I'd been sitting in my chair, getting excited about future, making plans, and feeling like things are finally going to get better for all of us.

I'm starting to lose faith in planning.
In people. In this world.
Some would say the hope for humanity has been lost for a while now.
But the optimist in me refused to believe that.

It's going to take a while before I find my way back to the hopeful side of me.

But right now... I'm not the one who matters.
Right now, my strength and my thoughts are with 🇺🇦💙💛
